Curated by Kristine Schomaker

“Perceive You” asks important questions about our curated public personas and how/if that impacts who we are. In an age where we curate our public persona with our profile pictures, selected social media content, and even how we dress in public, how do we really define ourselves- to ourselves? How does the public persona impact our identity? Is it a disguise, a constructed brand, or are we taking ownership of our identity? Perceive You turns the mirror on the participating artists asking them to portray how they see themselves.

Alston, Beatrice Antonie Martino, Betzi Stein, Brenda Oelbaum, Bryn Williams, Courtney Blackstock, Daggi Wallace, Emily Bertucci, Erica Entrop, Huan LaPlante, Jean-Paul Aboudib, Jen Sanders, Jenette Wilson, Jennifer Wolfe-Hagstrom, Jo Ann Block, Jorge E.
